Hello , I’ve written another letter to @antanddec about the ongoing appalling abuse of animals on @ITV programme @imacelebrity . I’ve tried to be polite but my patience has run thin . If you agree with what it says please RT . #ImACeleb
🥁 Drumroll, please! PETA’s 2023 Christmas advert, with the incredible @janehorrocks_ as the voice of Tessa the turkey, is here. Start a new tradition. Leave turkeys off the table. ❤️🦃
My severely disabled brother (profoundly deaf, can't speak, limited mobility, learning difficulties) has just had his ESA cut without warning or explanation. How can this happen? I've written to the @DWPgovuk twice (no response on their phone line)
Can you help? @guardian
@mikee52000@DrFrancesRyan@Offord4Hendon@DWPgovuk@VotePursglove The MP replied straight away to say he’s made representations for Carl to the DWP - but said it would take weeks for the DWP to respond… however they responded straight away when their news desk saw my tweet 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
@DrFrancesRyan Amazing news: all sorted, missing money in Carl's account! @DWPgovuk press office saw my tweets, and escalated things. Just had a call from someone who apologised & said they've corrected the mistake. But what about vulnerable people who don't have family to fight for them???
@gpb156@DrFrancesRyan@DLS_Law I emailed them yesterday and left a voice message, but I know they’re busy. Hopefully I’ll hear back from them soon. Thank you!
@DrFrancesRyan@CitizensAdvice Thank you :) Tried @CitizensAdvice but they said that unless we know why his benefits were cut they can’t help us challenge it! I’ve contacted his MP @MatthewOfford who has sent an enquiry to @DWPgovuk but says could take weeks to get a response. Will keep trying…
@DrFrancesRyan Sorry to reply again - I'm feeling pretty desperate. Have you ever encountered someone's ESA being stopped without any information provided or explanation before?

@DrFrancesRyan He did fail a WCA a few years ago and we went to tribunal and won within about 2 mins of being in the room as it was clear immediately that Carl is not able to work. But we’ve heard nothing since then…
@DrFrancesRyan We don’t know why. We’ve received no information except a text asking us to call them (which Ive tried to do but no-one answers). He hasn’t been called for any assessments and there are no changes in circumstances. But the money has stopped coming into his account 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
@DWPgovuk does anyone ever pick up your phone. I’ve been on hold for over an hour every day for the last week with no luck. The system is absurd and Kafka-esque! Please can someone let me know how to get in touch…
